Ok, assume some *do* care, can't we come up with some summary like
"for fair use, you have to be actually talking about the image itself
- not just the subject depicted in the image" or something? IANAL. I
have to admit that fair use has always been a bit of a mystery to me
as well - particularly in a university context it often gets
interpreted as something like "don't take too much, and don't do it
too publicly, and you'll be right".
